Good thread OS25.

Amorkuz, you raise a super interesting point about parallel evolution: it's correct to say that "Cybermen" are not one species. However, just like crabs (and crab-like creatures), they're undeniably one group. Especially since they so often appear as just generic Cybermen, with no origin specified, I think it's super helpful to keep Cyberman. (This is probably what you were saying all along, I'm just spelling out my pov.) It's a bit confusing that we use Template:Infobox Species on the Cyberman page, but I think it's a much better fit than Template:Infobox Organisation, so we should probably keep it that way, despite the technicality. (This sort of thing is one reason why one of my first changes on the Faction Paradox Wiki was to combine those two templates into a Group infobox, but it's understandably very late in the game to consider a change like that here on TW.)

JagoAndLitefoot, I really really really like that idea of moving all the information on the different origins to Creation of the Cybermen. Maybe we could add a section to Cyberman that discusses the overall differences between the multiple groups, and then cover the Cybermen as a whole, rather than separated by origin, as the page currently stands?
